Abstract: Despite the existence of many evaluation techniques in the field of disaster management, no systematic study has evaluated if a robust frame is available on each disaster management issue. This paper compares how the USA, Indonesia, and South Korea have used a robust frame on each disaster management issue. The analysis focuses on three comparative factors: stakeholders, resources, and strategies. Qualitative comparative analysis as a methodology plays a role in drawing a similarity and three differences among the US diverse national frames, the Indonesian frequent disaster frames, and the Korean limited regional frames. The study finds that the three nations have similarly tried to address robust frames, but the extent of the three comparative factors has been very different. A robust framework can be transferrable and generalised to apply to every nature of disaster.

Keywords: emergency management; resources; the US; Indonesia; South Korea.
